Technical Analysis – JP 225 index maintains horizontal mode

Posted on July 6, 2020 at 3:18 pm GMT

JP 225 stock index (Cash) may prolong its sideways crawl as the price stalled underneath the 22,825 upper bound of the range. Although the price found some footing on the 200-period simple moving average (SMA), the Ichimoku lines, the 50- and 100-period SMAs continue to indicate unclear direction and conflicting views. Conflicting signals are also suggested in the short-term oscillators. The MACD is above its red trigger and zero lines, while the RSI has marginally weakened under the 80 level. [..]

Technical Analysis – CADJPY recovers some losses with weak momentum

Posted on July 6, 2020 at 1:49 pm GMT

CADJPY is in the process to recover some of its aggressive losses that posted at the beginning of the previous month. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) acted as a crucial support level for the price, while the RSI and the stochastic are moving slightly higher. However, the red Tenkan-sen line is holding beneath the blue Kijun-sen line, suggesting possible losses in the short-term. In case that the price remains above the moving averages it could challenge the 79.95 resistance, [..]

Technical Analysis – AUDUSD hits a snag at the ceiling of the range

Posted on July 6, 2020 at 12:17 pm GMT

AUDUSD appears to be struggling to break above the roof (0.6976) of the sideways market that commenced in mid-June. Currently, the 50- and 100-period simple moving averages (SMAs) sustain a mostly neutral tone, while the Ichimoku lines and the cloud reflect some improvement in price action. Further backing the positive picture are the short-term oscillators as well as the 200-period SMA. The MACD, in the positive region, is strengthening above its red trigger line, while the RSI is attempting to [..]

Technical Analysis – US 500 index touches 1-month peak but outlook remains neutral-to-bullish

Posted on July 6, 2020 at 11:48 am GMT

The US 500 cash index was promoting a bullish signal as it touched the 3,181 in the preceding session, but then it created a bearish doji candle. The technical indicators are mixed as the MACD is rising above its trigger line in the positive territory, while the RSI is sloping south around the 70 region. Moreover, the simple moving averages (SMAs) are suggesting a neutral-to-bullish mode as they give some optimism for upside tendency in the 4-hour chart. Hence, the short-run risk is looking neutral-to-positive at the moment and [..]

Technical Analysis – CHI50 stock index skyrockets to 12-year highs

Posted on July 6, 2020 at 10:40 am GMT

ChIna’s 50 stock index (CHI50 cash) ignored all nearby 2018 barriers on Monday and skyrocketed to 15,983, recording its best daily gain ever. After such an impressive rally, some downside retracement could be reasonable as markets do not move in one direction. The RSI and the Stochastics have also entered the overbought territory, but have yet to show signs of weakness, suggesting that there might be some room for improvement – may be a limited one – before a reversal [..]

Technical Analysis – Gold eyes key levels for fresh direction; bias skewed to the upside

Posted on July 6, 2020 at 8:04 am GMT

Gold opened with weak momentum on Monday in the daily chart, hovering slightly below the new almost eight-year peak registered last week. Nevertheless, the short-term bias is still skewed to the upside. Although frail, the RSI is holding comfortably above its 50 neutral level, while the MACD, despite stabilizing, remains within the positive area and marginally above its red signal line. Meanwhile, the price itself continues to trade above the upward-sloping 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and within the upper bullish Bollinger [..]

Technical Analysis – EURUSD’s positive tone strengthens

Posted on July 6, 2020 at 7:57 am GMT

EURUSD is tackling the 1.1302 resistance, suggesting that positive sentiment may be picking up in a sideways market that has held since the pullback from the 1.1421 peak. In spite of this pause, the positive picture has managed to remain intact, something also reflected in the Ichimoku lines and the bullish bearing of the 50- and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs). Additionally, the short-term oscillators sponsor a neutral-to-bullish picture. The MACD, in the positive area, is ready to reclaim its [..]

Technical Analysis – USDJPY hovers in tight range; bullish after it bounces off 7-week low

Posted on July 6, 2020 at 7:47 am GMT

USDJPY is consolidating within tight Bollinger bands that are suggesting a potential sharp move either to the upside or to the downside. The price remains above the short-term moving averages; however, they are pointing down. The RSI indicator is heading south or into the bullish territory, while the stochastic is moving sideways below the overbought zone. If the price successfully slips beneath the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the down leg from 109.85 to 106.07 at 107.50, it could meet the 107.32 [..]

Posted on July 3, 2020 at 10:52 am GMT

US 30 stock index (Cash) is resting on the 100-period simple moving average (SMA) at 25,790, merged with the upper surface of the Ichimoku cloud and finding further support from the positively charged 200-period SMA just beneath, at 25,746. At the glance it seems this mostly neutral picture that has taken over the last weeks may be here to stay for a while. Conflicting signals exist in the directional picture of the index. The bullish Ichimoku lines mirror growing positive [..]
